Episode notes

INSIGHT

Orchestration Replaces Prompting

The key skill in 2026 is orchestration, not prompting or technical fluency.
Winning teams design work, set constraints, and let AI perform the tasks at scale.

ADVICE

Unlearn Old Workflows

Do unlearn old workflows instead of merely upskilling around them.
Rebuild processes from scratch with AI front and center to avoid perpetuating broken steps.

INSIGHT

Human-in-the-Loop Is No Longer Sufficient

Generic human-in-the-loop oversight no longer scales with agentic AI complexity.
Humans cannot interpret miles-long action traces from multi-agent systems at speed.
